In a statement, Beckham says he loves classic watches, “so a phone that exposes its mechanics while also being so stylish is really unique. Motorola always seem to come up with something different, a concept that no one else has, and they’ve certainly done that again with AURA.”

Beckham is playing in Italy until the end of the European season in June, after which he will return to the U.S. where he will play for the L.A. Galaxy in what some reports have called a “timeshare” agreement. He and his wife, Victoria and the couple s three sons – Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, 6, and Cruz, 4 – are very happy with life in L.A. where the boys are settled in school.
